That is the benefit of betting against your team. Either way you get something out of it ... ?

We make finals... a Banana thickshake is all yours

I hate to say it, but I can see  a loss and our year over tonight.

Now you are talking ... this is getting serious!

It is easy to hate umpires if you are a Melbourne supporter. We lose games because of multiple free kick goals awarded to our opponents when we can’t buy one. I watched the Pies Tigers game today and was stunned at the refusal to pay obvious holding the ball frees yet we are penalised as soon as an opponent touches our jumper. It is a joke. Think of the Harmes 50 and goal and listen to the umpires warning players today not to infringe the zone when they already are in it. It is a joke. 

It just seems to me if you are a club that doesn’t rant in the media you get continually screwed.

Our club should have spoken up a long time ago, even last year to be honest. The squeaky wheel always gets the oil.

Would rather 'the consistent umpire gets applauded and deserves another game next week'

I wonder if BBO whilst Bitter...is still Optimistic ?

I'm not.

Of course I'm still Bitter bb you [censored]. In fact you can all shove your banana splits , bowl included, where they will cause the most pain.

Any more questions as to my Bitterness?

As to Optimism. I was so [censored] off after last Saturday, I've kept away from this forum, papers , radio etc all week. However, remarkably  we are still in the game.

It's Saturday night, I'm sober, I'm alone - I reckon we'll win

Start drinking

I'll give it to 3/4 time bb. I reckon by then I'll have reason to either drown my despair or ….. maybe start celebrating

@Red and Bluebeard now I don't want you to get too excited but you might just have a banana thickshake coming your way

No excitement here until the final siren on Round 23 is in and the banana-containing liquid is in a container in my hands ready to be drunk ... after that, what the hell!

Clearly this post inspired the win, so I put it up again.

This thread is creeping towards 1000 pages did anyone think the nobel  banana would get this far? 

I was watching The Block tonight and I now understand the fascination with the Gatwick. 

Magnificent!

Biffen hasn't posted much on here of late. Perhaps he's still hiding inside a putrid wardrobe at the Gat, despite all the construction and cameras

It is working so far so I will go again " we are f...ed."

Seeing it's the middle of winter @Moonshadow I suggest increasing your banana intake to increase your serotonin ??

You're probably right, just not happy with all the lynching on the Gaff thread. Let the tribunal do its work. Plus I might do a maths short course ?

Maybe you should start by watching Jane Bunnana on the weather each night, unsure how good at maths she is though, perhaps quite good at a square root? 16/6=4 but most likely 8? Still got to work out where that 4 came from though....
